My 572 was bought used (at a LGS) in 1970. It was my second gun purchase ever. I still have it and love shooting it.Recently I decided that I wanted a pump action .22lr rifle. In that catagory, I liked the 572 Fieldmaster the best. I stopped by a pawn shop that had one and it was priced above the LGS that I frequented in West Valley (Impact Guns).
I talked to the owner and the lowest he was willing to come down to was only $20 less than it was new at the LGS, and for that price he wanted cash. Needless to say, I purchased it new from the LGS.
Other than that, it has been decades since I have looked for a gun at a pawn shop. I kept telling myself that I would take a day and just hit the pawn shops and look at what they had. I just never got around to it.
